To request resource using HTTP you must specify the HTTP Methods, HTTP have some set of request methods to indicate the action to be performed by the client and the server. Sometimes These request methods are referred as HTTP verbs, but can also be referred as nouns. Each of them implements a different semantic, but some common features are shared by a group of them: e.g. a request method can be safe, idempotent, or cacheable.

Here's some HTTP methods you should know in order to understand the concept of HTTP process.

GET

The GET method requests a representation of the specified resource. Requests using GET should only retrieve data.

HEAD

The HEAD method asks for a response identical to that of a GET request, but without the response body.

POST

The POST method is used to submit an entity to the specified resource, often causing a change in state or side effects on the server.

PUT

The PUT method replaces all current representations of the target resource with the request payload.

DELETE

The DELETE method deletes the specified resource.

CONNECT

The CONNECT method establishes a tunnel to the server identified by the target resource.

OPTIONS

The OPTIONS method is used to describe the communication options for the target resource.

TRACE

The TRACE method performs a message loop-back test along the path to the target resource.

PATCH

The PATCH method is used to apply partial modifications to a resource.

If you browsing on web browser, then enter the URL you want to visit, the GET method is by default the HTTP method is being use by the browswer. Meanwhile the POST and PUT usually to handle form transaction. If you input some text fields then hit submit button, most developer will use POST to be the HTTP method they choose. Because POST and PUT methods allow you to send Request body which will contains the data you've typed in the form you just submit. PUT methods specifically for handle update data, the POST method use for submit new data.

We don't use HTTP method that often in programming, the big 5 HTTP methods we usually use is GET, POST, PUT, DELETE and OPTIONS. To be honest I've never use any other HTTP methods than those 5 i mentioned.

MySQL and MariaDB password As already mentioned in the title of this blog, this error message sometimes occurred when we are trying to update our root password database, either MySQL or MariaDB, The error says: ERROR 1348 (HY000): Column 'Password' is not updatable This is because if we use this SQL command to update our database root password, and it turn out to be Restricted by MySQL to use update on mysql database. UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('1234') WHERE User='root'; The solutions for MySQL Error1348 So you can not update a user password using Update commands, to update the password, use ALTER commands instead. like the following. ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '1234'; And then you need to do the flush privileges to commit previous queries (that alter command above) into the system, simply do like this. flush privileges; So now you have your root with password 1234. Although it is recommended to...

Spring Boot is a handy tool that simplifies the development of Spring Framework applications by reducing the need for cumbersome configuration. In this tutorial, I'll guide you through creating a Spring Boot application using the Netbeans IDE. While you can certainly create a Spring Boot application in Netbeans manually, it's much easier with a plugin designed for Spring development. Here's a step-by-step guide to get you started: 1. Install the Spring Boot Plugin: Open Netbeans and navigate to the Tools menu. Click on "Plugins." Once the Plugins window opens, select the "Available Plugins" tab. Look for the "Nb SpringBoot" plugin, then install and activate it. 2. Create a New Spring Boot Project: After restarting Netbeans IDE, you can create a new project with Spring Boot. Go to File > New Project. Under Categories, select Maven, then choose "Spring Boot Basic." 3. Add Dependencies: With your new project created, open the po...

Spring Kafka - How to use ReplyingKafkaTemplate send and reply synchronously

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Today, I want to share how to use Kafka. It's quite interesting once you get the hang of it, and I hope my explanation will make it a bit easier for you. So, Kafka is primarily known as an asynchronous messaging queuing system. This means it allows different parts of your application to communicate with each other without waiting for immediate responses. However, there are times when you might need a more immediate reply from another service in your project. Luckily, Kafka can handle this too. Here’s how it works: The client side sends a message to the server side via Kafka. This message includes a special identifier in the Kafka header request, known as KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID, along with a topic where the server should respond. The server, after processing the request, sends a message back to the same topic with the same correlation ID. This way, the client knows that the message is a response to its initial request and can act accordingl...
